Morning Meeting, Afternoon Wrap-Up is a book that I have provided to teachers at many professional development workshops. The book provides a structured approach to setting up a classroom for optimal learning and collaboration. The NEW edition has kept the tried and true while adding more of the tips and strategies that Donna is so famous for providing. This book is an invaluable resource for new and seasoned teachers. --Susan Sarfaty, Regional Superintendent, St. Clair County, IL

When I started teaching first grade eight years ago, I had no idea how to set up a classroom, especially one that would emphasize community and trust. I bought several books that I hoped would provide guidance, but realized I had struck gold as soon as I started reading Morning Meeting, Afternoon Wrap-Up. This book showed me how to structure the environment in my classroom and motivate my students in a way I had not realized was possible. Without a doubt, my class was the best behaved and most self-reliant group in our grade level, and all of my students felt as though they were part of a cohesive team. I only taught first grade for one year, but now, eight years later, I am about to do it again. The first thing I did was pull out my copy of Morning Meeting, Afternoon Wrap-Up. Not many educational books can stand the test of time, but this one is just as relevant today as it was almost a decade ago. It was a lifesaver then, and I have no doubt it will be a lifesaver again now. --Jennifer Brown, Classroom Teacher, Little Valley Elementary School, St. George, Utah
